Forget ambassadors of good will. The United States is sending Kelly Clarkson, the original American Idol winner, to represent in a sing-off against Idol victors from 11 other countries in Fox's World Idol. (The competition airs Christmas Day at 8 pm/ET, and the winner is announced New Year's Day at 9 pm/ET.) But before she goes to face the music in the United Kingdom, we found out what Miss Independent thinks about her global showdown, her movie misfire and whether she's destined to be a Broadway Baby.
TV Guide Online: Think you've got an edge over the other Idols, having been on a world tour?
Clarkson: There's actually a few of us that have gone to other countries, so everybody has that benefit. I have been around in the U.K. and other countries in Europe for quite some time, but in Australia, Spain and Italy, I'm just now starting. And if people do know me, they don't know me, the person. They know my song, "Miss Independent."
TVGO: This will probably help your international record sales.
Clarkson: Oh, I know, and that's a smart idea for all of us. Plus, I'm excited to hear all the different kind of songs. I've never heard Arabian music before. But we're not allowed to tell people our songs, and we don't know the other Idols' songs. Everything's kind of a big secret.
TVGO: Which Idols have you met already?
Clarkson: I've been to the U.K. a couple of times, so I met Will, and he's got such a unique voice. When I performed on Australian Idol, I met Guy, who eventually ended up winning. Everybody in America is going to laugh because he's such a great guy and he's got curly hair like Justin Guarini. They don't look anything alike, but it's just funny because of the hair. I just kept laughing, "Oh, if you win, it's going to be really cute."
TVGO: Romance rumors might start flying about you two!
Clarkson: Oh, I know, right? I'll be married to him as well!
